This invention relates to op Matus for extracting oil from cotton-see or other oil ,bearing seeds; und has'for its object to pro' vide e.. cooker of improved design to insure en even-end uniform cooking of ull the material 'messing therethrough in the'acoompenying drawing Figure 1 is a vertical sectional View of the invention. Fig. is a horizontal section on the line 2n-'2 of Fig. 1. i y

` in the drawing 5 denotes a vertically 211'-- rsnged cylinder surrounded by u stesur- I jacket 6. l'Vithin the cylinder is mounted a stirrer comprising u vertical rotury shaft 7 which is driven in -any suitable nni'nnez and hss rudio-ily extending urins 8 to the outer ends of which are fnstened blades 9 disposed parallel tothe shaft nnd working close to the wall oi' the cylinder. 'The shaft throughout ,fits entire length within the cylinder is :i1-ined with radially extending spikes 1() which :irc arranged spirully on the shuft. At the top and bottoni of vthe cylinder :tre stulionury blades ii. 'lhcse extend into the cylinder for considcruhlc distance and :ire loi'uled between the shsft 7 und tho blades l l. 'lhe blades il are carried by cross-hars l2 secured to the ends of the cylinder. 'lhe hot toni crossdnn" :Liso hun u hearing for the lower end of the shaft 7. Un the lop of the cylinder* is u bracket lll in which the upper end of the shui't is supported. Live steam entersjthe jacket n :it the top through n pipe i4.

tekenl'roin thc'jucket (i by nleuns oi' u pipe 15 enti-ring the lutter at the bottoni thereof and passing' through the jacket und ihn wull 'lhe pipe 'ifi hust n valve il) for controlling the steam i supny to the cylinder, und on. thehottoni of 'the ifylimhufzit the lop thereof.

of me steznn-iurlmt is on outlet pipe i7 provided with u vulve ifs' for disclnn'ging thc weterol" condensation.

The letter throw the materiel upward and hack against the stationary blades thus keeping the mute.- rial continuull y stirred while pussinfr through the cylinder, thereby .preventing tie mete-- rial next to the wall thereof being over nection between seid outlet und the inlet to thc cylirulcr, whereby the steznn is delivered to one end of the jacket und token from the opposite end thereof und delivered to the cylinder.

2. An uppurutus for extracting oil, coinpi'ising u cylinder, u steunx-juclt .surrounding the suine, u steuln-inlct to the jacket ut the lop .thereof und un outlet ut the bottom,l

und n pipe connecting the top ol theccylinder with the said outlet.

.3. An uppuruius for extructing oil, coinprising uwfylinder, u rotutuhlo shul't therein cnirving hhules arranged parallel thereto, rudiully presented .spikes on the shul't, und slutionury hludos between the shuft und the hlndos- (':xrried tluireby.
